    Would it be possible to add a spell check? I'm so damn bad at it, it sometimes gets embarrassing! I've seen one in the civ fanatic page, so why not here? I'm sure it would help not just morons like myself, but others whom English is a second language. Any chance of it?

    An online dictionary would help us more. It is known that native speakers always make more spelling and grammar errors than foreigners, who are weaker in vocabulary.

    When I'm posting, there's two things I really need, besides my PC: a radio and an English dictionary.

            If it is a matter of expense, I will donate the front end cost and 1 years recurring cost (license fees etc.)

                Since you guys are improving the site, I thought I would bump this, and ask again if a spell check feature could be added.

                        I wonder if you could first write your posts in Word; then run your spellcheck; once happy copy the text, switch to the Apolyton window and copy the well spelled text into the reply screen?

                          There is a hack that has like a word processing type window while typing a post.
